Dominion

In this episode of The Living Logos, we explore Revelation 5 through the lens of dominion—tracing the story from Genesis, where humanity was given authority, to the Fall, where that dominion was lost, and ultimately to Christ, the only One worthy to take it back. By connecting the imagery of the seven-sealed scroll to the concept of a title deed, we uncover how Jesus, as our Kinsman Redeemer, fulfills the qualifications necessary to redeem both humanity and the earth. Drawing rich parallels from the book of Ruth, we see how Boaz foreshadows Christ’s redemptive work, bringing both Israel and the Gentiles into restored covenant relationship. Finally, we examine the striking connections between Joshua and Revelation, revealing Jesus as our greater Joshua who will return to reclaim the promised inheritance and establish His righteous rule.
